Bob,
I cry real tears for you :-). My previous contract was as an HP consultant
at Raytheon where my job was supposed to write device drivers. Went up to
the Sudbury plant where they had the board I was to use, but they were
unable to grant me root priviledge on the system I was to use to write the
device driver. The systems people would not relent. After weeks of this, we
decided to move the project to my office in the Bedford plant where I did
have root priviledge. At Raytheon virtually noone has root priviledge on
their work stations except the system management team members. Couldn't
wait until the end of that contract.
